it sucks...

kghjkghj.jpg

i think it sucks when you are trying to endure one loss
and you have to turn right around and face another one.

my three cats are the main source of my comfort.
they are my family.
they are my everything.
they keep me going and provide me with such
good company and such sweet love.
they are my children.

my little lily just endured a hideous surgery
that led to finding a major mass in her tiny body.

the vet tried to be gentle, but it is what it is.

i feel like i did something wrong or i should have detected
something earlier. ...maybe if i would have done this or done that....
maybe all the stress of change took a toll on her....

i hate knowing she is laying at the clinic in a cage, although with great care,
away from everything she knows, with her soft little belly shaved and stitched.

i dont mean to minimize human loss, i know my priorities.
i know some of you are facing loss of a loved one right now and my cat sadness seems
so minor.

but tonight in my small world,
my heart is sick.
and i hate everything.

and i just want her paws tucked under my chin.

i love that little furball...
and i am so damn sick of losing love.

I'm sorry about your cat, Jen. It says a lot of good things about you that you hurt when she hurts. I hope you both feel better, soon.

So sorry to hear about your cat. It's about time you had some good karma coming your way.

Dear Jen, love is love. It doesn't seem minor at all. I am sending you love. There is a beautiful duet by Jane Siberry and KD Lang called Calling All Angels. I'm calling on all angels to walk you through this one...you are not alone.

"Calling All Angels" ~ Jane Siberry

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah, Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica, Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla, Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir and all the rest

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries... high above the church bells start to ring ~ And as, the heaviness, the heaviness...oh...settles in, somewhere you can hear a mother sing

Then it's one foot, then the other, as you step out on the road ~ Step out on that road ~ How much weight? how much? Then it's how long? And how far? And how many times...oh... before it's too late?

Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone ~ Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ We're tryin', we're hopin', but we're not sure how this goes.....

Ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset with such love and intensity. Why it's, almost as if..oh... if you could only crack the code, then you'd finally understand what this all means

Ah, but if you could...do you think you would... trade in all, all the pain and suffering? Ah, but then you'd miss the beauty of the light upon this earth and the sweetness of the leaving

Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone ~ Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ We're tryin', we're hopin', but we're not sure how....

Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone ~ Calling all angels ~ Calling all angels ~ We're tryin', we're hopin', we're lovin', and we're hurtin', we're cryin', we're callin', 'cause we're not sure how this goes….

I wonder if you have any SARK books you can take out- she always wrote so beautifully about her relationship with Jupiter. Thought maybe it would be comforting to you now? One of the only times I ever have seen my dad cry is when we had to bury his favorite dog of ours named ShooShoo. Pets ARE a part of our families. Some people may not get that but pay no attention. So sad to hear you are having to cope with this on top of all else-sending warmth and light and love your way.

Sorry, Jen.

Yes, it does suck. It hurts more than you think you can bear. I know.

Sometimes this quote helps me see the bigger picture:

Friedrich Nietzsche said, "That which does not kill me makes me stronger."

Hope lily is doing better. :-)

Lily is in Heaven now. Have peace and comfort knowing she is no longer suffering. We all will say a little prayer for sweet Lily cat and one for you too Jen. Peace.

I have three cats. Since losing my mother to cancer, I have had to have 2 of our cats in the vet overnight to have procedures and both times I felt awful and worried extensively. There really is such an important bond with animals, losing them or knowing they are in pain or unhappy can cause great distress.

Sending much love and hope you find some comfort soon
